Researchers then created a supramolecule combining fullerene crystals with metalloporphyrin, a molecule with a unique structure. They created four versions of this supramolecule to try and ...

Derived from the soccer-ball-shaped ‘buckminsterfullerene’ molecule, fullerene-based nanomaterials are a key ingredient in some of the first commercial, high-performance, organic photovoltaic ...

These flakes underwent a series of further changes before finally forming a spherical fullerene molecule that seemed to roll back and forth on the graphene substrate below. The high-resolution ...

However, as the number of isomers increases exponentially in higher fullerenes (C n, n>7), achieving their selective enrichment through molecular recognition remains a challenge. This study ...

Growth patterns and NICS(1) contour planes (ppm) of (A) corannulene (6, C20H10) and (B) fullerene (7, C60). Superatomic Lewis structures and AdNDP localized orbitals of (C) corannulene (6 ...
